  1. Thank you all for your kindness and understanding! I'd be lost without VST!
  2. Yes yes! I'm full. And it hurts so much. It feels like there is a plug in there(sorry for being gross too)
  3. Ok...Thank YOU ALL so much.... BUT... How long does it take the suppositories to work. I'm on my third one and nothing:( I'm scared I'm going to have to go to the doctor....
  4. I haven't been able to "go to the bathroom" in 4 days!! I've tried Xlax and coffee and Water. I'm starting to feel pain in my abdominal area. I am 3 weeks out of surgery. Still on soft foods. Has anyone else gone through this??? How do I fix it??? Thanks a million for all your help!!
  5. Thank You so much! What an inspiration you are!! I my pre-surgery weight was 216. I'm down to 210, career the 8 I gained immediately after surgery!! I cannot wait for this we results!!! Can you tell us what you've been doing this year to lose?!??!
  6. I had my surgery the 21st also. I'm not struggling with head hunger, for me its I see it I want to eat it! I've been on liquids and still having liquid out issues lol. I know I'm not getting enough to eat as far as vitamins and protein, but I just can't fit it all in there! After these four days I am finally back down to my per surgery weight! I walk 2 miles a day and have virtually no pain. No heartburn(never had it before). All in all I'm doing pretty good!
  7. I had my surgery on the 21st. Not gonna lie I gained 8#'s. not stepping on the scale again until my bloating goes away! Lol I'm looking forward to a huge success!
  8. OMG! That is awesome!!! Congratulations!!! This is the kind of updates that keep me motivated!!
  9. Good to know it does go away! I'm afraid to leave my house!!! Lol thanks
  10. How many of you have had constant diarrhea? I sneeze and I better be on the toilet. I'm not hungry but have to force myself to eat. I walk to work out the gas but then I still end up with diarrhea ! I'll be honest I'm only a few days out of surgery but I'm afraid to drink anything other thank water! Anyone else have this problem?? What did you do??
  11. I have friends that are less than six months out already drinking like they never had surgery. I am 3 days out of surgery. I won't have alcohol anytime soon. Just wondering what everybody thought. My nutritionalist said to refrain "as long as I could" lol.
  12. How long should did you wait before drinking?

  14. What is a chia seed? And what are the benefits?
  15. I understand your fear completely!! I've been watching the actual surgery on YouTube. That seems to help with those nerves. My fear is getting out of surgery and never changing.....
  16. Right! Thank you all so much! I've already had my blood drawn, X-rays, and EKG! All good there! Now I meet with my surgeon on Thursday. I think I'll be fine. I am making every effort to follow the PRE surgery liquid diet. "IT'S KILLING ME!!!" Lol. I'll handle it though! I have an amazing support system here at home and friends that won't let me quit!! (Thank The Lord!) I'll keep you all updated on Thursday!! I'm so ready for this!!
  17. I understand the burger!! Hang in there!!! As my friend says,"keep your eye on the prize!"
  18. Way awesome!! Keep us posted afterwards! I'm nervous too. Mine is on the 21st!!
